To call José Andrés America’s most well-known Spanish chef would be an understatement. Not only has José done more than just about anyone else to introduce Americans to Spanish cuisine, he’s also a tireless advocate for immigration reform, New York Times bestselling author, educator, television personality, humanitarian, and chef/owner of José Andrés Group. Andrés is also the founder of World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit that notably served over 3.6 million meals to the people of Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria and has since delivered more than 60 million meals to people in need in the wake of natural disasters, humanitarian crises, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since emigrating to America at age 21 after working at Spain’s renowned El Bulli, Andrés has opened a stunning array of more than 30 restaurants, from traditional tapas joints (Jaleo) to a sprawling Spanish food hall (NYC’s Mercado Little Spain) to a Mexican-Chinese mashup (Las Vegas’ China Poblano) to a two Michelin Star tasting counter (DC's minibar by José Andrés). Now, from classic paella to tapas to burnt Basque cheesecake, Chef José Andrés’ most iconic dishes are shipping nationwide!
